Thomas Wooden Railway Colin is a cheerful, canal-sided crane whose home is at the wharf.  He isn't the largest crane, or the strongest, but his determination and skill at swinging his crane arm make him fast and reliable.

 

Colin is a good friend to all the engines and loves to hear the news they bring him from around the island.

 

As Colin cannot leave the wharf, he's always fascinated hearning about everything that happens in other places. Colin always looks on the bright side of the wharf!
